Soon, Li Hao went to the grocery store and bought a pack of cigarettes and a box of matches.
"Brother Fan." He handed a match box to Cheng Qianfan.
This was an 'accidental encounter' between him and Zhou Ru. While chatting, the two secretly exchanged match boxes.
Cheng Qianfan took the match box, neatly poured out the matches inside, and then saw a wax ball the size of a soybean.
This is Zhou Ru's way of delivering secret information. She will write it in very small characters on the thinnest paper, roll it up, and seal it with wax. The maximum size must not exceed a peanut.
Cheng Qianfan smelled the wax pills and found that they had a light smell of kerosene.
This was slightly soaked in kerosene. If things went bad, Zhou Ru would wait for the opportunity to light the match box and destroy the information. The match itself was prone to explosion. With the help of kerosene, the evidence could be destroyed in a very short time.
Cheng Qianfan carefully opened the wax balls and took out a small piece of paper.
"Magnifying glass," he said.
Haozi took out the magnifying glass from the glove box and handed it to Brother Fan with his backhand.
Cheng Qianfan lowered his head to look.
This was a special secret message sent directly to him by Dai Chunfeng. Zhou Ru did not know the secret message. Only Dai Chunfeng, Qi Wu and Cheng Qianfan knew the secret message.
Cheng Qianfan's expression was solemn. He noticed the first word "Pel" in the telegram, which represented an urgent need.
…
Cheng Qianfan quickly translated the telegram, and his expression changed drastically:
Wang secretly left Chongqing the day before yesterday and traveled to Hanoi via Kunming for more than a day. He paid close attention to Japan's diplomatic and military developments. This matter was urgent and urgent.
Wang Chuanhai, the vice president of the Kuomintang and the second-in-command in the government, left Chongqing privately. He even only stayed in Kunming for one day and then ran from Kunming to Hanoi. What was he going to do?
As Cheng Qianfan, who has been secretly investigating Mei Shenping, Gao Qingwu and the Japanese in Shanghai, he knows the inside story better than many people.
Based on the information he knew, Wang's side should have had some kind of formal contact with the Japanese. Although there was no way to know the inside story, Cheng Qianfan judged that Vice President Wang wanted to make peace with the Japanese.
Wang's low-key club has long been committed to propagating the idea that resistance to Japan will lead to defeat and the country will be destroyed. It advocates making peace with Japan, ceding territory and paying compensation, and seeking a 'breathing opportunity'.
Cheng Qianfan's previous view of Mei Shenping and Gao Qingwu's secret meeting with the Japanese in Shanghai was that Wang Chuanhai wanted to gain political capital by promoting peace with Japan and overthrow the 'leader'.
In fact, overthrowing Chang Kaishen and ascending to the throne himself has been Wang Quanhai's biggest dream over the years.
However, at this moment, Cheng Qianfan was shocked to learn that Wang Chuanhai had left Chongqing privately and went to Hanoi via Kunming. For the first time, he had some doubts about his previous judgments and thoughts.
Suddenly, a word came to his mind: treason!
Does Wang want to 'cooperate' with the Japanese? Betray the country and nation?
However, Cheng Qianfan quickly shook his head. Although he also knew that Vice President Wang was pessimistic about the war and advocated peace with Japan, he still could not imagine the man who had "made a success of it with a sword and lived up to his youthful reputation" back then, and
The number two figure in the party and state, who has always regarded himself as Mr. Sun Yat-sen's designated successor, will commit numerous acts of treason.
The wax balls were baked with a lighter, and the wax juice dripped on the match box, completely destroying the remains.
Then, Cheng Qianfan dipped the note into some saliva, carefully wrapped it around the front end of a cigarette, put the cigarette in his mouth, flicked the lighter and lit it. He smoked slowly, with a serious expression on his face, lost in thought.
No matter what Wang Chuanhai wanted to do, just the fact that the second-ranking figure in the Kuomintang suddenly left Yucheng and went to Hanoi with his wife and daughter was a huge event in itself.
…
Hongkou District, a Japanese restaurant.
"Atsushi, this is Yoshino Sakamoto, Mr. Sakamoto is my best friend." Cheng Qianfan introduced to Atsushi Kawada, "Sakamoto-kun's father is Mr. Nagayuki Sakamoto, a famous writer in our country."
Kawada Atsuhito, who was still a bit arrogant at first, immediately calmed down his arrogance when he heard this, and his eyes towards Sakamoto Yoshino became a little more cordial.
"Kawada-kun, this is the first time we meet, please take care of me." Sakamoto Yoshino stood up, bowed slightly and said.
"Hahaha, Sakamoto-kun, you are Miyazaki-kun's good friend, and naturally you are also my good friend." Kawada Atsuhito said with a smile.
On such occasions, Miyazaki Kentaro would not use the term 'best friend' casually.
Miyazaki-kun is reminding him that Sakamoto Yoshino is a close friend.
Cheng Qianfan clapped his hands aside and praised, "Great, we are all of the same age, and it is one of the great joys of life to be able to meet each other and build friendship together in Shanghai."
As he spoke, he raised the wine glass filled with sake in his hand and said, "Everyone, please drink this glass to congratulate me!"
"Drink this cup to the full!"
The three of them drank all the wine in their glasses and looked at each other and laughed.
…
With Cheng Qianfan in the middle and lively atmosphere, Sakamoto Yoshino is also a sincere person without any scheming, which suits Kawada Atsuhito's taste.
Soon, the three of them were talking happily.
"It's great. I'm very happy to get to know Sakamoto-kun." Kawada Atsushi said happily, "I knew that it would be very comfortable for me to choose to stay and work in Shanghai with Miyazaki-kun in Shanghai."
He is really very satisfied with this atmosphere.
After a while, Kawada Atsuto glanced at an empty seat suspiciously, "Miyazaki-kun, are there any guests?"
"Because I learned that Atsushi was going to work at the Military Police Headquarters, I took it upon myself to invite Major Yuichi Ohta of the Watanabe Brigade." Cheng Qianfan said.
As he spoke, he explained, "Major Yuichi Ohta once served as the aide-de-camp to Commander Ikeuchi."
Kawada Atsuhito nodded. He had no interest in Ohta Yuichi. His father and Commander Junzaburo Ikeuchi were old friends. He joined the Military Police Headquarters to get gold plating.
As for the Kawada family, the youngest son whom Kawada Yushi loved most "served in the army in China, and even went to the front line personally to serve His Majesty the Emperor with practical actions." This is the greatest expression of the Kawada family's loyalty!
This matter itself was also a collaboration between the Kawada family, Junzaburo Ikeuchi, and the military.
Kawada Atsuhito will have a very transcendent status in the Military Police Headquarters, and there is no need to get acquainted with Junzaburo Ikeuchi's former aide.
However, he also knew that this was Kentaro Miyazaki's intention, and he had to accept this intention.
…
About twenty minutes later, Ohta Yuichi had not arrived yet, and Kawada Atsuhito's face already looked bad.
"It's my responsibility." Cheng Qianfan showed embarrassment and explained, "Major Ota didn't know that you were there, so he was negligent."
Kawada Atsuhito snorted. He was not angry with Kentaro Miyazaki. From Miyazaki-kun's words, it can be seen that Ota Yuichi was very arrogant and did not take Miyazaki-kun seriously.
Cheng Qianfan pretended to be fine and said with a smile, "Major Yuichi Ohta is a friend of my good friend Junji Ono. I have never had any contact with him. This time..."
Kawada Atsuhito's eyes showed gratitude, he stood up and bowed, "Miyazaki-kun, you are interested."
He understood that Kentaro Miyazaki had no contact with Yuichi Ohta before, and it was just to help him integrate into his new job better, so he invited Yuichi Ohta to the banquet through a friend.
However, Miyazaki-kun has a low status and does not seem to be favored by Major Yuichi Ohta.
These days, he has finally learned about Kentaro Miyazaki's current identity and work. Miyazaki-kun pretends to be senior police officer Cheng Qianfan from the police station. This identity is quite powerful in the French Concession. Miyazaki-kun has always been 'respected' and majestic. Lin Lin, there is no need to deliberately please Ohta Yuichi, all this is for him.
The most important thing is that Miyazaki-kun did all this silently, and this friend really had nothing to say to him.
This is true friendship.
…
About five minutes later, a man wearing an 'Imperial Army' officer uniform opened the door and came in. The man first looked around arrogantly, and then fixed his eyes on Kentaro Miyazaki, with a hint of arrogance at the corner of his mouth. with a smile, "Who is Kentaro Miyazaki?"
"Major Ota." Cheng Qianfan quickly smiled and stood up to greet him, "My Excellency, Kentaro Miyazaki, it is truly an honor for you to be here in person."
Ohta Yuichi did not sit down, but glanced around, frowning, showing dissatisfaction.
"Miyazaki-kun, it's not the way to entertain guests before they arrive." Yuichi Ohta snorted coldly.
Wow!
Kawada Atsuto couldn't hold it any longer and stood up straight away, "Get wild!"
Ohta Yuichi's expression changed and he was about to get angry.
Cheng Qianfan hurried forward and introduced to Ohta Yuichi with an eager smile, "Major Ohta, let me introduce you. This is Master Atsuhito Kawada of the Kawada family."
As he spoke, he whispered quickly in Ohta Yuichi's ear, "Master Atsuhito is the young master of the Kawada family. His father is the Honorable Senator Yuki Kawada of the Imperial House of Nobles. The Senator is an in-law of the Konoe family and is also a member of the Ikeuchi family. The Commander's best friend."
Following Cheng Qianfan's whisper, Yuichi Ohta's face, which had been arrogant and rude just now, changed continuously, and his whole expression became more and more respectful step by step.
He stood at attention, standing straight, and then bowed deeply to Kawada Atsuhito, "Master Atsuhito, Ohta was rude just now."
Kawada Atsuhito snorted coldly.
Cheng Qianfan caught a glimpse of Yuichi Ohta looking at him with a bit of dissatisfaction and even hatred in his peripheral vision.
He sneered in his heart, but with a smile on his face, he continued to introduce Ohta Yuichi, "This is Sakamoto Yoshino from the Consulate General. Sakamoto-kun is the assistant to Counselor Imamura."
As he spoke, he whispered again, "Sakamoto-kun is the youngest son of His Excellency Sakamoto Nagayuki, the great writer of the empire."
Seeing that Ohta Yuichi didn't seem to care, he could only continue to explain, "Your Excellency Sakamoto Nagayuki enjoys a high reputation in the empire and is a famous scholar who is highly valued by the cabinet. Counselor Imamura also regards Mr. Sakamoto as his nephew."
Ohta Yuichi's expression changed again, and he was complaining in his heart.
He originally thought that Kentaro Miyazaki held the banquet specifically to entertain him, and guessed that Kentaro Miyazaki was asking for something from him. He learned from Junji Ono that Miyazaki was a guy who was engaged in "rat-like spy work" in the Special High School. Treat people sincerely' and 'have a lot of family assets'.
Therefore, he planned to treat them with an arrogant attitude, in order to have the effect of intimidation and blackmail, and obtain money for himself, but he did not expect that the other two people at this banquet had such great backgrounds, especially the young master of the Kawada family, and he Can't afford to offend.
The atmosphere was a little awkward for a while.
However, Kentaro Miyazaki, a master of field control, is here, and Yuichi Ohta also puts down his posture and is quite flattering to Atsuto Kawada.
Although Kawada Atsuhito still doesn't like Ohta Yuichi's behavior, the noble son of the Kawada family, for the sake of Kentaro Miyazaki, occasionally reluctantly talks to Ohta Yuichi for a word or two, and at least he doesn't leave the table in anger. .
The atmosphere at the scene finally eased a bit.
…
During the meal break, Cheng Qianfan wiped his mouth, got up and went to the toilet, while winking at Yuichi Ohta.
After Kentaro Miyazaki left, Yuichi Ohta respectfully saluted Atsuhito Kawada and followed him out pretending to go to the toilet.
"Kentaro Miyazaki..." After catching up with Kentaro Miyazaki, Ohta Yuichi looked angrily and wanted to question him.
"Major Ota!" Cheng Qianfan stamped his feet, showing a look of resentment, "You almost missed my good intentions."
"Nani?" Ohta Yu was stunned for a moment when he was about to get angry.
"Ono-kun and I are good friends, and Major Ota is Ono-kun's friend, so I naturally treat him as a friend." Cheng Qianfan sweated profusely, "Therefore, I specially invited Atsuto and Sakamoto-kun to the banquet. I want to Introduce the two of them to Major Ota, how do you..."
"Alas!" As he said this, Cheng Qianfan shook his head and sighed.
…
Ohta Yuichi was stunned.
Is that so?
It turns out that Miyazaki Kentaro didn't ask for anything from him, but wanted to introduce the noble person to him. Was he mistaken?
At the same time, he suddenly noticed that when Miyazaki called Kawata Atsuhito, he did not address him as 'Master Atsuhito', but actually called him 'Atsuhito'.
He would not think that Kentaro Miyazaki was rude, and Kentaro Miyazaki would not dare to be rude to the young master of the Kawada family, an important minister of the empire.
Then there is only one explanation. Kentaro Miyazaki and Atsuhito Kawada have a very good personal relationship, and Atsuhito Kawada does not mind that they are called "Atsushi".
Thinking of this, his attitude towards Kentaro Miyazaki, whom he despised, finally changed.
At the same time, thinking that the other party introduced the noble person to me with good intentions, but he almost messed up the matter, I actually felt a little guilty in my heart.
"Miyazaki-kun, I was rude and almost failed to live up to my good intentions." Ohta Yuichi said, and then finally couldn't help complaining again, "Miyazaki-kun, you can tell me in advance."
"There was no time." Cheng Qianfan finally became a little angry, "Major Ohta, you didn't even give me a chance to speak."
Cheng Qianfan's face also darkened: "I ask myself that I have always been sincere and treat my friends with sincerity. I asked myself, Major Ota, if I am even half grateful?"
He looked at Ohta Yuichi and said coldly, "The young master of the Kawada family is friends with me. The young master of the Sakamoto family regards me as a close friend. Counselor Imamura is my teacher and treats me like his own son. The third section chief, Nobushige, is with me.
Your Excellency, Commander Ikeuchi, praised me for my loyalty to the country. May I ask, Major Ota, how did you treat me just now?"
After saying that, he snorted heavily, turned around and left.
